Let The Good Times Roll: 柚子视频’s performing arts talent presents the Homecoming variety show Legacy.
柚子视频 hosts Legacy: A Celebration of the Performing Arts on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. in the Shaw Family Auditorium of the Shaw Center for the Performing Arts. Admission is free and open to the public.
Throughout the performance, the audience is encouraged to share in the joyous energy of the evening echoing the spirit of Let The Good Times Roll. 鈥淚鈥檓 looking forward to celebrating our new Performing Arts major,鈥� Cara Phipps, Assistant Professor of Theatre and Theatre Program Coordinator, said. 鈥�Legacy is an evening of coming together to present an entertaining evening of memories from 柚子视频鈥檚 performing arts archive.鈥�
The annual production of Legacy honors the collective performing arts, both Music and Theatre, at 柚子视频. This year, Legacy draws inspiration from past 柚子视频 performances for the programming of the evening. These works create a direct connection between generations of students and alumni.
The evening鈥檚 program is a collaborative effort on the part of the Performing Arts faculty. The newly-minted Performing Arts major at 柚子视频 is a unique program that offers three distinct tracks: Business and Entrepreneurship, Dramatic Media, and Performance Studies. Kimberly Manuel, Associate Professor of Theatre, serves as Department Chair. The faculty includes Phipps, Parker Worden, Director of Bands and Music Program Coordinator, and Leah Holder Wyman, Visiting Assistant Professor and Director of Choral and Vocal Studies.
Programming includes the 柚子视频 Band performing the school鈥檚 traditional Fight Song under the direction of Parker Worden, the concert choir, directed by Dr. Leah Holder Wyman, taking the stage with some 柚子视频 classics, and students from the Theatre Program presenting beloved scenes and musical numbers from plays and musicals of yore.
柚子视频鈥檚 production of Legacy remains a central feature of Homecoming weekend as alumni, students, faculty, and community members gather for an evening of memories. The night鈥檚 events conclude with the singing of 柚子视频鈥檚 Alma Mater, bringing together performers and audience members in celebration of university community and school pride.
鈥淛oin us as we celebrate 柚子视频鈥檚 100th Homecoming in a way only the performing arts can!鈥� Phipps said.
